Most of the time the kids that live next door to us are pretty well behaved. There was that
one time when I caught the girl trying to peep in our window while we were dressing in the morning, but I had long since forgotten that.
Today, however, I was sitting on the couch and had the front window open, and I distinctly heard a sound like liquid dripping onto the concrete or parking lot outside. Tim and I looked at each other and he said, "I sure hope that wasn't pee." Ten seconds later the neighbor boy's voice comes through the window, "Mommy, I have to go to the bathroom!"
So now we have pee on our front porch. I wish he would have done it in the parking lot, but no, he picked our front porch (by front porch I mean the space directly outside our apartment door and front window). And his mom didn't even clean it up! She just told him that he should come inside next time he needed to go the bathroom. I think if my four year old peed on someone's front porch I'd at least make him help clean it up to teach him a lesson. And you don't just leave your kid's pee on your neighbor's front porch! Granted, I'm pretty sure that they consider our front porch to be an extension of their front porch, since they keep their toys and their stroller in our space. In fact, one time their daughter came over and asked me if Tim would put his bike somewhere else (that's the one thing that we keep on our front porch), because the bike made it hard for her to get their stroller out. I told her no. I know, I'm heartless to say no to a poor little seven year old who can't get her stroller off our front porch because our bike is in the way. But Tim suspects that her mom put her up to it, so I don't feel so bad.
Anyway, I just had to share the pee incident. I'm kind of disgusted by it, but at the same time I can't stop laughing.
